Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 3, 1889

Mr. Bayard to Mr. Romero.

Department of State,
November 14, 1888.

Dear Mr. Romero: Following our understanding that you shall always be called into counsel when anything touching Mexican and American interests is involved, I would like to show you personally some correspondence^* I am having in relation to a dam projected across the Rio Grande at El Paso, which is said to be partly on United States soil, and may seriously affect our riparian and boundary rights.

Your co-operation to make matters satisfactory to both sides will be welcome.

Yours, sincerely,

T. F. Bayard.
